The Best Drug Rehabs in the U.S.

The Google review that has taken me months to perfect. ❤️ The Ranch is life-changing. It saved my life... twice. I have been to The Ranch twice this year, spending a total of approximately 90 days there. My first experience was in residential and PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), which I highly recommend. Let me be honest: if you show up to groups but don't participate, repeatedly get up and leave, don't complete the homework your therapist assigns, or refuse to actually open up and talk about things during your sessions, then NO, you probably won't get much out of this program. You have to pour into this program for it to pour back into you. You can get better. You can heal. You can experience hope, love, peace, and joy again. But a huge part of that depends on what YOU are willing to put into your recovery. The therapists, BHTs, case managers, and other staff members cannot do the work for you. They can guide you, support you, encourage you, and walk alongside you, but ultimately, you have to show up for yourself. The Ranch TN has some of the best staff, clinicians, and therapists I have ever encountered. You spend a tremendous amount of time in groups and with the BHT staff. These people show up for HOURS every single day to support you. They see you at your best, your worst, and everything in between. Are you upset? Advocate for yourself. Speak up. Your voice matters. Kristen, Raeven, Marchetta, and Nariyah are some of the BEST BHT staff at The Ranch. They have hearts of pure GOLD. Let them support you. Let them carry some of the weight when you feel like you can't carry it yourself. They genuinely care. Now, let's talk about the therapists. The majority of them (not all, sorry!) are some of the most amazing human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting. They are truly God-sent. They will fight for you in rooms you're not in. They will advocate for you, listen to you, challenge you, love you, and show up for you time and time again. Alexandra is the BEST. She runs groups like no other. She will love you, support you, and absolutely put you in your place when you need it. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need. The experiential team is unmatched. Dan, Tracey, and Clare will support you, encourage you, and walk alongside you throughout your journey. During my time as a mental health client, Candice was also an amazing therapist who facilitated groups with so much love and compassion. If you are sitting on the fence about going to The Ranch, GO. I promise you, it can be life-changing. It saved my life, and I will forever be grateful for the people who helped me find my way back to myself. Do the work. Take your medication. Keep your follow-up appointments. Practice your DBT skills. Use the tools they give you. Not every day will be sunshine and rainbows. Honestly, most days probably won't be. Recovery is hard. Healing is hard. Facing the things you've spent years avoiding is HARD. But you will find hope. And sometimes, when you've lost almost everything, hope is the one thing you need most. The Ranch gave me that hope. Twice. I will never be able to adequately put into words what this place and the people there mean to me. Thank you for helping me find a life worth living again. I will carry that gratitude with me forever. ❤️

Going to Ojai Recovery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It helped change my perspective and outlook on life and helped me get back on track. All of the staff showed genuine concern for our wellbeing, helped guide us, gave support and tools for continued sobriety. Special shout out to Dana for her hard work and being able to relate to so many people's situations. I wouldn't take my experience back for the world!

Like any rehab the staff is there to help some r excellent and some r not. That’s just the way it is. Today, I accept it and move on instead of whining about it. Food is good, one will put on weight here. The curriculum is solid and is of real use for an addict and/or alcoholic as long as they are listening, honest with others and especially with themselves and r willing. Because of past behavior of others, I would consider Akua mind and body strict on visits, taking a walk and other activities but like I said, I have past clients to thank for the strictness of this place. Other than that I can’t complain. Recovery is within reach here at Akua mind & body if one truly wants it. Peace I would like to to give a big thank you to the techs, counselors, case managers and medical staff for treating me with courtesy and respect while offering a guiding hand to live life without complicating it with the use of drugs and/or alcohol as well as the tools presented in the groups given here to achieve a clean and sober lifestyle.
